I know there has been a lot of discounting of the usefullness of tablet PCs but this would give us the best of both worlds. You could use it as a tablet for taking notes in class, or as a normal notebook for writing papers, code or email.

Since I just started grad school I would love a laptop to take notes on, but most of my notes involve fairly complex equations that would be much easier to take by hand rather than deal with equation editors. I can see professors/teachers getting behind this too since there wouldn't be clicking keyboards while people try to take notes. I don't care how quiet the keyboard is, if you put 60 of them in a room it's bound to be annoying.

I would like to have a fully featured subsize note book, something like 10" to 9". and have drive bays that were swappable. Sometmes you just dont want to lug he 15" around town, I've tried the 12 my GF has one. Really fancy something a tichy bit smaller..... any thoughts?

I think we all realize that the next *major* update will probably involve G5s. but it will also more than likely involve a fairly substantial case update that will include other features. What features would you like to see there. I like the ideas of swapable drives since that could also give the option of a second battery in the drive bay for added battery life when desired.
